New Students Registration

The first step for all new students is to apply to LCCC using the online application. Your LCCC student portal credentials will be emailed to you within 1-2 business days.

Apply Online

If you have any questions on this step, please contact Admissions: admissions@firstnews-extra.com or 610-799-1575

*Please make sure you check your LCCC student email and myLCCC portal daily for updates and communication.

As a new student you are required to complete placement testing or provide documentation to qualify for exemptions before registering for classes.

Students who need to complete placement testing can do so remotely or at an LCCC location. If you are a recent high school graduate, review the list of testing exemptions to see if you qualify for a waiver. You can submit unofficial electronic copies of your transcript, report card or SAT/ACT scores to the Testing Center for exemptions.

Placement Testing

• To register for remote placement testing, please email us at admissions@firstnews-extra.com with the following information:
  • any documents you want us to review for exemptions, and
  • whether you have a built-in webcam.

Note: Required Equipment- You must have a built-in webcam to take the placement tests remotely. Testing must be completed on a computer, laptop or Chromebook. You cannot take the test on your phone or on a MacBook.

• When we receive your email we will confirm that you have the right equipment to test at home and review your information. We will send you a list of the placement tests you must complete, including directions on how to complete them online, or how to schedule an appointment.

NSOAR is a remote zoom one-hour group advising session where you will learn about important college information, how to register for classes, how to view and change your schedule of classes, and use your myLCCC account. There is a selection of dates and times for you to choose from. A course schedule will be created and tuition charges incurred after completion of NSOAR. If you choose not to attend LCCC, you must officially drop your courses according to the College’s refund policy. If you have any questions please email orientation@firstnews-extra.com.
